Result - Visa Approved
Experience -
Had the interview scheduled at 9 PM.Went in by 8.45.
Went and sat in the second building where usually all the interviews happen.
There were only women consular officers in the immigrant visa section.
One of the indian ladies called me by 10.30.Took my Medicals and PCC forms and the DD.Did a very casual interview while she collected the forms.Was very very sweet.Asked if it was a love marrigae,how long I knew my fiance,since when did we plan to get married,where i work,whether my parents will come for the wedding,If I had an engagement ceremony...and according to whose customs was the engagement ceremony conducted.
She went thro abt 40 pics i attached..and here and there asked few questions.
All in all very sweet and nice.
I had a visitor's Visa stamp prior.So she cancelled my visitor's visa in front of me,and asked me to wait for the next round of interview.Wished me good luck.
This whole thing took abt 15-20 mins max.
Then got called by the American officer at 1.10.
Since I visited my fiance in the US earlier,she kept asking me questions abt how i liked the US etc.
She asked me how long i have known my fiance.
Where i was working and what will i do when i move to the US
When we will get married and where we plan to go for our honeymoon.
If my parents are going to attend the wedding and if we will have some ceremony here when we return to india next.
She said i should take the oppurtunity and shop a lot for my wedding.
And how she is very envious of me going to the US in spring.
Then she explained to me abt advance parole.Gave me a brochure which has the links to the sites where i can read abt advance parole,work permit etc.
And wished me good luck.
Was very very sweet.both ladies.
Process was really smooth.She said i'll be able to collect my passport from the VFS office today(interview was yesterday).But the VFS guys said that the immigrant visa takes atleast 3 days! So I am wondering when to book my flight basically!!
Hope this helps.
